Wii Launch T-Shirt Countdown, Six Days To Go!
Monday / 11.13.06 / 09:22PM / Joe
To celebrate the launch of the Wii this Sunday, I am spending the week wearing a different Nintendo t-shirt each day... and presenting a new Nintendo "innovation" from the Era of the GameCube.
T-minus SIX
This is a standard, the 1-UP mushroom. One time at work, I had this completely crazy co-worker stop me in the hallway and want to talk about how much she used to enjoy Mario games. It's universal.
Today's GameCubeian innovation: the WaveBird. Before Nintendo let this bird fly, wireless video game controllers were a bad third-party joke. Now it's the standard for the next generation. When I first got one of these, I tested it by walking across the street and playing Animal Crossing through the window. It worked. Playing with corded controllers just seems like caveman times now.
You want the real reason why Sony doesn't mind that they lost rumble on the PS3 controller? You're looking at it. |
